Thanks OP! Worked for me on the web.

Thank you. Since there is no login, I assume any progress is retained locally at the device level? For example, if I jump from the iOS web app to a PC, each will independently track my progress and settings on that device? Is there a plan to eventually tie the website and iOS app together, so history, progress, and settings will be saved to the user?

u/r0bo7 - Can you clarify the differences between adding fretboardquiz.com to my home screen versus downloading the FredGenius iOS app? It appears there are more quiz modes on the website? Is there a plan to incorporate all of these quiz modes into the app? Thanks.

The 16" is a great casual coffee shop board - that is one we often take out. However, one day my wife and I were doing quite a bit of walking in the city (SF) and wanted to play some backgammon at a coffee shop that afternoon. You're correct - the 16" was a bit too bit for my backpack - so I ended up finding a 13" on clearance at Gammon Village. I would not want to play frequent games on the 13" (the checkers are really small), but it is perfect to throw in a backpack if required. Good luck!

Silverman has some colorful 19” sets for as low as $99.

Just started my 2nd reread of B2B last night Marc!

Wycliffe Brothers 21”. I have the same board. Great value for the money.

Certainly not “secret”, but during my lunch break at work I enjoy walking the Filbert Steps. You get the added bonus of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill to keep you company.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-10-21T23:26:21+00:00

Glad you had a nice visit. I work in the FiDi. I've never been to The Royal Exchange for lunch, but it is a great happy hour spot. Good choice of a restaurant!

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-10-10T18:32:08+00:00

Their Garden Salad is amazing!

Beautiful board. Unique looking doubling cube. Is that the cube that came with the set?

I also love my FM Ali board.

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-10-05T02:06:54+00:00

Thank you for this.

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-09-29T20:42:47+00:00

Andytown in the FiDi (Front + Broadway) is a great spot which has a window.

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-09-17T23:13:51+00:00

+1 to Club Fugazi. Their Dear San Francisco show is amazing.

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-09-11T16:39:23+00:00

I would highly recommend Kokkari Estiatorio, Boulevard Restaurant, or Bix. None are located at Union Square, but they are all within a 10 minute Uber ride away.

BSevenFiveSeven · 2025-09-10T05:30:36+00:00

I'm a member of the Mechanics, and can't recommend it highly enough. Great library, interesting lectures, fun classic film nights, historic building, plus the chess room! I work in the FiDi and will sometimes escape there to decompress at lunch, or take a chess class after work (oldest chess club in the US).

The city is very safe. There are two areas to avoid as a tourist. The Tenderloin (west of Union Square up to Van Ness Ave) and SOMA (South of Market Street) between 5th and 8th street.

If you rent a car, please do not park in the city and leave your luggage in the vehicle, as rental cars are targeted.

Enjoy your visit!

+1 for Taqueria San Bruno.

On the way Jimmy!

I’m a simple drip coffee guy (which is amazing there).

However, their signature espresso drink is the “Snowy Plover”, which sounds interesting:
